The new research breakthrough with Suicune also brings trainers new field research in Pokémon GO this month. There is now a new Shiny and a new Pandir form available from the quests.
The new field researches that you can obtain at PokéStops mainly focus on the Water type. This is because the legendary Water Pokémon Suicune is now available as a research breakthrough.

New Pandir Form in Pokémon GO
Until now, trainers could only catch two forms of Pandir in Pokémon GO. Those were form number 8 and form number 3. All forms differ by the spots on Pandir’s head.
New form: Now trainers can find form number 1 in Pokémon GO. The following screenshot shows what it looks like in the game.
Easy catch: You can obtain Pandir through the quest “Land two good curveball throws”. That shouldn’t be a problem.
Monthly rotation: After forms 8 in August and 3 in September, now the third form appears in the third month. One can now assume that the other forms will also be added in the coming months.
New Shiny – Krabby
For several days now, we have known that the shiny form of Krabby has been added to Pokémon GO. This Pokémon is now obtainable through the task “Catch 5 Water Pokémon”, or it can also be found in the wild.
What does shiny Krabby look like? Early trainers have already managed to catch the shiny form of Krabby in Pokémon GO. Here’s what it looks like in Pokémon GO:
What do you think of the new field researches?
Another shiny will be available during the Pokémon GO Safari Zone in Taiwan
